He sings. He writes. He produces. And his name is Owl City. Well… not really. His name is Adam Young. Owl City is just Adam and his backing band. Adam quickly rose to mainstream popularity with his album Ocean. On this album he has had a number one hit with the song “Fireflies.” Adam Young’s lyrics in “Fireflies” are hard to interrupt. It’s one of those songs that may have a real meaning, but is also so deep that it lets you have your own opinion of what it means. Kind of resembling something that Ryan Ross would have written back in 2006. I personally believe it’s about dreams. What meaning can you find out of it? Only one way to find out. Go buy the album and listen to it. If you like deep lyrics and bands like A Rocket To The Moon or The Postal Service, then you’ll love Owl City.

    So my all time favorite band is Panic! at the Disco. Ryan Ross’s incredible lyrics are what really attracted me to the band. From there he has been getting more of a 1960’s hippie vibe. That’s why the band split. Ryan Ross, who co-founded P!ATD, and Jon Walker left the band because of creative differences. They have a band called The Young Veins. They have a recorded song called “Change.” You can find it at their Myspace website.

    Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith, co-founders, stayed with Panic! At the Disco and brought back their old sound with more of a pop twist to it. They have a hit single called “New Perspective.” You can hear "New Perspective" on the Jennifer’s Body soundtrack.

The boys are still really close friends. No bitterness towards each other after the break up. They just had different ideas and split into two.

    The Black Eye Pease are back, but not necessarily better then ever. Their new sound is more techno/hip-hop. The sound and lyrics are a little too repetitive for my taste. If you are into the hip-hop stuff, then you’ll like it. If you're like me and only listen to it if the lyrics and beat are good, then you might not like the new stuff. It's good the first few times you listen to it, but the radio just overplays it. You’ll like it if you just boycott the radio.
